Introducing the uOttawa Game Dev Club's first game jam of the Fall 2023 semester! The theme this time around is...

👻🦇 Cryptids! 🛸👽

Although it's a Halloween jam, your game doesn't have to be scary - as long as cryptids feature in it in some way, you're good! Additionally, made-up cryptids are totally a-okay! 

The top three winners (which will be decided at our game night at the start of November) will also receive Amazon gift cards, so look forward to that!! (Prizes will be given on a per-person basis, so if you win with a group project, every member of your group will receive a gift card).
